Just picked up this late sixties (originally blonde) Deluxe 8. Anyone have a line on a blend wheel? Pot intact, wheel AWOL.

| I would suggest that missing that wheel is only an issue if you regularly change the setting. If you are happy to adjust it to your preferred setting and leave it there, a screwdriver will do that for you. |

| Watch Reverb and eBay, one is sure to pop up, you may not like the price though, vintage parts have gone nuts. |

You don't even need a screwdriver - the shaft of the pot can just be turned with your fingers.
For me, it's a set and forget control anyway.
I'd not pay for a vintage one unless it was vety cheap - especially as it is hidden under the bridge cover anyway. |

I would obtain a shiny new 2022 dime and drill a hole in the center.
Cost: Ten cents. |
